Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC): Anyone else?

Hello. 3 of the nodes were cancerous...so treatment plan is 8 rounds of chemo & radiation.

I had my 1st round Nov. 29th.
1 down & 7 to go

I'm taking at 1 day at a time & giving all praise to the one who created me, Jehovah!!

Does anyone have arm and shoulder aching after mastectomy?

I see! So nerve racking! Not sure what advice to give except take one day at a time. Surround yourself with people you can vent to and voice concerns and get as much info as you can for an informed decision. This is a good resource. There are others also.

Lymph nodes are clear? So you had a biopsy already?

First appt. Fir what exactly?

Just trying to get more info.
What do you want to know?

@dmsnovember23, welcome. It's a relief to hear that the lymph nodes are clear. As you prepare for your appointment next week, what questions do you have? Will you be meeting with the surgeon or oncologist? How are you doing?

Oh I forgot to add 14 lymph nodes were removed & 3 of the 14 were cancerous..soo, the doctor recommended 2 tighter & 1 !by it self

Hello everyone, I too was diagnosed with Invasive DCIS
with lymp node involvement.
Had a Lumpectomy. Now scheduled for 8 rounds of Chemotherapy with all 3 chemo drugs starting Nov. 29th.
Also have to get Radiationas well.

Just wanted to know what to expect.

What kind of cancer? I had IDC and it was Triple Negative, no lymph node involvement. I had a lumpectomy, Adriamycin (The Red Devil), Taxal, and 6 weeks of radiation. That was 17 years ago so have faith and courage!!! Good luck and I’m sending prayers to you!

Was given the diagnosis of Ductal Cacinoma IDC on November 21. Told that the lymph nodes are clear. Not sure what to expect. Have first appointment on December 4.
